Rice Architecture Society is the voice of the Rice Architecture student body. With representatives from every studio, this group helps to shape the culture of the school while also providing a liaison between the students and the school’s faculty and administration.
Society’s main social and educational events include:
-
Weekly open studios: late-night studio gatherings for the exchange of snacks and ideas
-
Mini-charrettes: weekend-long design competitions
-
Architectronica (fall) and ArchiArts (spring): university-wide parties
-
Open houses: post-final review events for the display of semester work
-
Organize discussions: group dialogue with faculty addressing how architecture is taught within the school
-
Society Pages: bi-monthly student publication in response to life in Anderson Hall
In addition to these events, Society is responsible for curating the student directory, student exhibitions, and intermittent panels with faculty and/or the dean. Its members provide a voice for the student body and keep students informed about events and opportunities at Rice Architecture.
